I know this isn't the right place for asking this question, but in other places the answers are so awfull.. I'm studying eletricity, so, I start seeing things like "charges", "electrons has negative ...

According to classical electromagnetic theory, accelerated charges should emit radiation and lose energy. The reason given in my book why atoms don't emit radiation (say, when the atom moves along a ...

$A,B,C$ are $3$ identical metallic plates.
Initially, charges $Q$, $4Q$ and $2Q$ were given to $A$,$B$ and $C$ respectively. Find final charge distributions when $B$ was earthed and $A$ and $C$ were ...

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding a pretty simple issue.
Assuming I have 2 conducting spheres uniformly charged connected by a long fine line (as shows in the added photo) and im being asked ...

How do these particles exchange information about charge and position between themselves, even though there's mostly empty space between them?
Also what happens if a free electron passes closer to a ...

What is the capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with different electrode material? The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor depends on dielectric material, surface area, and separation between ...

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, both get charged: The silk gets positively charged and the rod gets negatively charged.
My question is the following: How/why do these objects return to ...

sorry if I sound little noobish. Though I have a fairly good understanding of physics, I sometimes don't understand the electrical aspects.
Say there is a capacitor. This capacitor is expected to act ...

When I study electrostatic stabilization, I understand that the particles have same charge and thus repel others, this is how colloid is stabilize. But how does particles gain electrical charges and ...

Let's assume we have a capacitor of capacitance $C$ and potential difference $U$. After charging it we disconnect it. Then we put a dielectric between the plates. I know that capacitance will increase ...

Lets say a large charged body has $n$ elementary charges and is brought in contact with a small uncharged body. When the charge distributes, does it distribute in the ratio of number of atoms or each ...

You have seen that the excess charge on an isolated conductor moves entirely to the conductor’s surface. However, unless the conductor is spherical, the charge does not distribute itself uniformly. ...

For Parallel Plate Capacitors, I was wondering why, in the derivation, they set charge to $Q$, when there is a net charge of zero? I know it wouldn't be very helpful to use zero, but if the definition ...

Does corona discharge charged insulator? I draw a diagram to make it simpler to understand.
Electrons form negative side is accelerated due to electric field and accumulate on insulator surface. Gas ...

Lets consider a system of two opposite charges separated by a certain distance
(dipole), if we ask what is the net charge for this system? the answer would be zero. The net charge (what I have come ...

What determines how much electrical charge an object can hold? Does increase voltage force more electrical charge to be store in an object (Van de Graaff generator), since electric field increase as ...

It is just a naive idea, and I want some discussions to help me think deeper.
I don't know the reason of indispensability of charge, maybe some physical laws guarantee that the charge must be exist. ...

Suppose there is a perfect ideal conducting solid sphere. Suppose somehow a charge of $+Q$ is kept exactly at the center of the sphere and its surface is also given a $+Q$ charge uniformly distributed ...

In a conductor, any excess charge will distribute itself evenly over the surface of the conductor. Because of quantum mechanics, this is possible with small charges (i.e. 1e).
But if electrons were ...

I've tried several different ways, with a tutor, and with other colleagues. One of my colleagues has even gone to the professor with whom he worked out an equation for the component, and it was later ...

How can we get the mass of an uncharged proton, i.e. how varies the mass of the charged proton if i remove the electric charge?
For the isotopic spin theory neutron and proton have the same mass and ...

So I know that the drift speed of electrons is usually pretty slow. Let's say I have a charged sphere and I would ground it over a wire. How fast would the electrons leave the sphere? Would that drift ...

We have long been taught that electric charges are neither created nor destroyed. But somehow it is okay to destroy two oppositely charged particles at once ! Why is that so?
Let's just take a look ...
